Bug ID: 411538
Summary: Alphabetical selection matching ignores de-select
Product: dolphin
Version: 18.08.0
Platform: Debian testing
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
CC: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
Steps to reproduce:
- Launch Dolphin.
- Create some folder with many files *and* sub-folders inside, having starting
with different alphabet letters each (alternatively, go somewhere like
/usr/lib/).
- Set the folder sorting settings to put folders first (Control -> Sort By ->
Tick “Folders First”).
- Inside said folder, press some keyboard letter that would shift the selection
to the middle of the folder by selecting the first *sub-folder* that starts
with the letter that was pressed.
- Click anywhere inside the empty space in the folder, so that the sub-folder
that was selected with the keypress above will now become de-selected.
- Press some keyboard letter that would select a sub-folder starting with a
letter earlier in the alphabet than the one selected two steps above.
Expected behavior: just like it happens in other file managers, alphabetical
selection matching should start again from the beginning, thus it should select
the first *sub-folder* that starts with the letter that was pressed now.
Actual behavior: alphabetical selection matching continues from where the
previous selection was left (even though it’s no longer selected), so instead
of selecting the first sub-folder, it selects the first file (which comes after
the folders).
Note that the problem (continuing from where the previous selection left) also
happens when there’s only files or only sub-folders and also happens when they
are not grouped.
